|
|
The
|
|
[= prog-name =]
|
|
utility program is used to query NTP servers which
|
|
implement the standard NTP mode 6 control message formats defined
|
|
in Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305, requesting
|
|
information about current state and/or changes in that state.
|
|
The same formats are used in NTPv4, although some of the
|
|
variables have changed and new ones added.
|
|
|
|
This section was generated by @strong{AutoGen},
|
|
the aginfo template and the option descriptions for the @command{ntpq} program. It documents the ntpq usage text and option meanings.
